On 17 August 2011 at the Office of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Deputy Prime Minister Keat Chhon, Minister for Economy and Finance, with Mr. Jean-Pierre de Margerie, World Food Programme Country Representative, Kingdom of Cambodia, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the contribution from the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to the United Nations World Food Programme (UNWFP) for five years from 2011 to 2015.

WFP has said that high food prices are creating the biggest challenge that WFP has faced in its 45-year history, a silent tsunami threatening to plunge more than 100 million people on every continent into hunger.

The World Food Programme (WFP) today launched an updated, on-line food-security map of Cambodia, identifying areas of vulnerability and showing where improvement has taken place and where more intervention is needed.

The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) announce the launch of a new three year programme for continuing food assistance for 1.8 million Cambodians at a Phnom Penh ceremony attended by the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Samdech Hun Sen.
